No. I think we should add a lintian warning/error for binary debs with CVS/
directories with a Root file in them.

I would very much appreciate CVS/ being added to a global exclude list in
debhelper.
OTOH, I certainly would not appreciate at all if a test
"dpkg-buildpackage" command in my workdir trashed all the CVS info (the
final debs are generated using cvs-buildpackage, which uses a clean export
of course).
